Jack Taylor, author of THE HALLELUJAH FACTOR: "There
is a point at which praise seems too little concerned
with the reason and intellect and could be labeled by
the watching skeptic as foolish ... " Twenty-four
times this word is employed with the name of "Jah".
This form of praise is to be offered in an attitude
of delight and rejoicing. Also most of the occurrences
are plural. It could be expressed in speaking Jer.
31:7, singing Ps.
69:30, and with dancing Ps.
149:3. "Hallelujah" - Spontaneous outcry
of one excited about God. The only word in English that
is the same in every language.

Praise
Laudation, a hymn, praise, praise worthy deeds. "To
sing extemporaneously." How this word is used in
context brings tremendous light to its meaning. It is
the fourth most frequently used word relating to praise
in the Old Testament.
(Occurs 57 times in the Old Testament.)
This noun comes from the root "halal". Tehillah
brings in the idea of singing "halal".
• Rev. Leonard Gardner, in his booklet "Worship
or Heresy", says "tehillah is that which births
and blesses the name of the Lord. It is the song that
the Lord sings in the midst of His Church. There is
the song that we initiate, and then there is the song
that the Lord sings through us."
